News & notes

The Capital District High School Hockey League will wrap its regular season tonight & tomorrow.

The basic skinny: Bethlehem can clinch its 3rd straight Delvecchio Cup by beating Albany Academy tomorrow night. The Eagles, who have a 2 point lead on second place Saratoga, would also be rooting for Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake-Ballston Spa to upset Saratoga if, in fact, they lose to Academy. In the event of a tie, a head-to-head tiebreaker would decide the regular season championship.
==========================================
Troy High will have its senior night for the boys' basketball team tonight when they face Averill Park. Game time has been moved up to 6 pm, the normal starting time for the women's home games, due to winter vacation. Troy has just one senior on the varsity roster, Makai (Don't Be) Cruel, so this will be another short ceremony, just like Senior Night for LaSalle hockey at Hudson Valley Community College on Saturday.

Warriors coach Dave Pugilese, who won his 200th career game earlier this season, will look to snap a four game losing streak to Troy. Win, and the Warriors, due to a tiebreaker, would bump the Flying Horses into fourth place. If Troy wins, they will finish 3rd outright, with Schenectady and Columbia having hopped past them for the top two spots in the Gray division, and it'll be the Patriots' 2nd division title in four years.

Tonight's game will loom large when seedings are announced for Class A tomorrow, along with the rest of the basketball sectionals.
===========================================
Shenendehowa's women's basketball team closed the regular season with a come-from-behind 73-62 win over Averill Park on Senior Day for the Warriors on Monday. Averill Park limps into the sectionals having lost four of their last five, while Shen has shrugged off the loss to Saratoga to win their last three. Anna Jankovic had a game high 22 points for the Warriors in a losing effort.
